A love triangle story (sort of). This story is so stark and depressing in so many aspects. Elizabeth Klett does a lovely job with the story. I think she well conveyed the depressing dreariness of this sad sad story.

I appreciate the reader's clear enunciation, but I always look for a reading that doesn't sound like one. There are no rhythms, no hills and valleys, just a steady ride as though in Ethan's timber-hauling wagon. But even more, I wish that a more intimate, perhaps more mature voice had been chosen and one with a slight New England accent.

I've just completed chapter one, and I already feel that Elizabeth Klett's wonderful recording is one of the best I've listened to yet! Such a pleasure to listen to, she has really captured the magic and mystery of the story. I can't wait to hear the rest. Thanks Elizabeth!
